Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures: • Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard. • Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation. • Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components. • When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely. • When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors. • It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity. • Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container. • Before connecting or unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off. • Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard. • Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected. • To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components. • Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing. • Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface. • Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature or wet environment. • Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user. • If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician. • If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation and/or grounding instructions. - 5 - 1-2 Product Specifications CPU AM4 Socket: - AMD Ryzen™ processor - AMD 7th Generation A-series/Athlon™ processors (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)

  • Course Conventions Fall 2016
    CS168 Computer Networks Fonseca Course Conventions Fall 2016 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 RFC Terms 1 3 Data Sizes 2 1 Introduction This document covers conventions that will be used throughout the course. 2 RFC Terms For the project specifications in this class, we’ll be using proper RFC terminology. It’s the terminology you’ll see if you ever implement protocols in the real world (e.g., IMAP or MCTCP), so it’s good to get exposed to it now. In particular, we’ll be using the keywords “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” as defined in RFC 2119. The terms we’ll use the most in this class are “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, and “MAY” (though we may use others occasionally), so we’re including their definitions here for convenience (copied verbatim from the RFC): • MUST This word, or the terms “REQUIRED” or “SHALL”, mean that the definition is an absolute requirement of the specification. • MUST NOT This word, or the phrase “SHALL NOT”, mean that the definition is an absolute prohibition of the specification. • SHOULD This word, or the adjective “RECOMMENDED”, mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course. • SHOULD NOT This phrase, or the phrase “NOT RECOMMENDED”, mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the particular behavior is acceptable or even useful, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any behavior described with this label.

  • Memory Storage Calculations
    1/29/2007 Calculations Page 1 MEMORY STORAGE CALCULATIONS Professor Jonathan Eckstein (adapted from a document due to M. Sklar and C. Iyigun) An important issue in the construction and maintenance of information systems is the amount of storage required. This handout presents basic concepts and calculations pertaining to the most common data types. 1.0 BACKGROUND - BASIC CONCEPTS Grouping Bits - We need to convert all memory requirements into bits (b) or bytes (B). It is therefore important to understand the relationship between the two. A bit is the smallest unit of memory, and is basically a switch. It can be in one of two states, "0" or "1". These states are sometimes referenced as "off and on", or "no and yes"; but these are simply alternate designations for the same concept. Given that each bit is capable of holding two possible values, the number of possible different combinations of values that can be stored in n bits is 2n. For example: 1 bit can hold 2 = 21 possible values (0 or 1) 2 bits can hold 2 × 2 = 22 = 4 possible values (00, 01, 10, or 11) 3 bits can hold 2 × 2× 2 = 23 = 8 possible values (000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, or 111) 4 bits can hold 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 24 =16 possible values 5 bits can hold 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 25 =32 possible values 6 bits can hold 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 26 = 64 possible values 7 bits can hold 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 27 = 128 possible values 8 bits can hold 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 28 = 256 possible values M n bits can hold 2n possible values M Bits vs.

  • What Is Broadband?
    What is Broadband? FCC’s Definition of broadband: The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. As part of its 2015 Broadband Progress Report, the Federal Communications Commission has voted to change the definition of broadband by raising the minimum download speeds needed from 4Mbps to 25Mbps, and the minimum upload speed from 1Mbps to 3Mbps Internet Speeds Explained One thing to consider when comparing Internet service providers is the speed of the Internet. A number of abbreviations are used when explaining Internet speeds. The slowest is Kbps, or kilobits per second. The bit is the smallest measurement of information and was used by mobile carriers until speeds got faster. A kilobit is 1,000 bits. The average dial-up modem operates at a maximum of 56 Kbps, however its speed is more often between 40 to 50 Kbps. Next up is KB/s or kilobytes per second. A byte is made up of eight bits, and bytes are often the measurement used for files on a computer. An average image on the web is around 1,000 KB, and would take around 2 minutes and 22 seconds to download on a dial-up modem running at maximum speeds. Just like 1,000 bits make a kilobit, 1,000 kilobits make a megabit. The speed of megabits is called Mbps, or megabits per second. MB/s stands for megabytes per second. A megabyte is made up of 1,000 megabits, and is the unit of measurement for larger files.
